Dear Madam and Dear Sir,

In light of the morning's news, I will need to expedite my week-old interest in the topic of citizen participation in rule making for federal agencies using an online deliberative process. Please immediately get me whatver updates relevant to this page (http://www.info-ren.org/publications/giq_2002/giq_2002.html), where I obtained your contact emails, that you can. It is obviously passed time to get busy and spread this word.

Perhaps a 'surge' of citizen input on the process can roll over the anti-democratic gatekeepers our Dear Leader has in mind.

Regards,

Bush Directive Increases Sway on Regulation

President Bush, seen here at the White House Monday, has signed an executive order that in effect increases his control over guidelines the government issues regarding health, safety, privacy and other issues.
By ROBERT PEAR
Published: January 30, 2007

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29 — President Bush has signed a directive that gives the White House much greater control over the rules and policy statements that the government develops to protect public health, safety, the environment, civil rights and privacy.

In an executive order published last week in the Federal Register, Mr. Bush said that each agency must have a regulatory policy office run by a political appointee, to supervise the development of rules and documents providing guidance to regulated industries. The White House will thus have a gatekeeper in each agency to analyze the costs and the benefits of new rules and to make sure the agencies carry out the president's priorities.
This strengthens the hand of the White House in shaping rules that have, in the past, often been generated by civil servants and scientific experts.

I note that there's a comment due on tart cherries pretty soon.

That's serious business to me. I am supremely insulted that scarcely processed FOOD is considered a drug but NICOTINE is not.

Mike seemed to not know about this process when we chatted about it the other night. In light of what you have found, perhaps he and others interested may wish to further investigate.

Here is a good place to start:

Success of e-rulemaking project hard to demonstrate

By Amelia Gruber
agruber@govexec.com
Agencies will have a difficult time determining whether "e-rulemaking," an electronic-government project designed to grant the public greater influence over the process of writing federal regulations, is a success, participants in a panel discussion at American University said Thursday.

First, there is the challenge of defining success, the panelists agreed. For example, analysts might focus on whether the public's participation in the regulatory process increases as a result of e-rulemaking, said Jonathan Breul, a fellow at the IBM Center for the Business of Government and a former senior adviser at the Office of Management and Budget.

The e-rulemaking project, administered by the Environmental Protection Agency, is one of 24 initiatives designed to make the federal government more accessible to citizens and enhance coordination among agencies. The initiative allows the public to view proposed federal rules and submit comments online. E-rulemaking also allows citizens to search for existing rules by visiting the Regulations.gov Web site.

But panel participant Laura Langbein, a professor at American University's School of Public Affairs, questioned whether increased public participation would improve the process of designing federal rules. The quality of comments on proposed regulations is more important than the sheer volume, she said. If the comment process is too easy, Langbein noted, agencies would stop placing as much value on individual suggestions.

Agencies also could look at whether e-rulemaking reduces costs, Breul said. But Jim Tozzi, an adviser at the Center for Regulatory Effectiveness, a watchdog group established in 1996, cautioned that even financial savings would not necessarily indicate success.

If agencies are truly interested in fostering deliberation and writing thoughtful regulations, then they should devote more money to e-rulemaking, Tozzi said. According to Philip Harter, a law professor at the University of Missouri-Columbia, sound rules come about after extensive deliberation and input from a range of interest groups.

Because individual measures of success are difficult to develop, the panelists encouraged collecting a wide range of data on the e-government initiative and performing multiple analyses of the projects' benefits. The analyses would put teeth behind current anecdotal evidence on the benefits of the electronic government project, Breul said.

Here is more what I have had in mind, both for our use here and to participate in at large, socialist message in hand:

Deliberative Democracy

Deliberative Democracy is founded on our belief that citizens care enough and are smart enough to participate meaningfully in the deliberative process of making public policy. We also believe that as citizens choose policy options they're willing to accept, they develop the political will to make needed changes.

Traditional Democracy: Why it's not working

Political paralysis: Leaders seem unable to take strong action; the public seems unwilling to accept painful solutions to difficult problems. And citizens complain they have been pushed out of the process.

Powerful special interest groups: Outspoken and organized, they dominate every debate.

Poll-based public opinion: It's fickle, uninformed and a shaky foundation for good decisions.

Poor policy research: Little time and less money means research is often superficial, leaving many options unexplored.

The Solutions: How Deliberative Democracy works

It involves the whole community in the decision-making process.

It replaces public opinion with public judgment, an informed, stable consensus reached through thoughtful deliberation. It gives citizens substantial and relevant information and tells policy makers what trade-offs citizens are willing to support.

It gives citizens a realistic policy problem to work on, challenging them to make choices that reach past compromise to shared solutions.

It allows governments to invest the time and money required for quality policy research. Only then will the results be accepted as credible and worthy of implementation; only then will policy makers be empowered to take strong, decisive action.

The Results: How Deliberative Democracy succeeds

The Deliberative Democracy Project has helped citizens' groups, local and state governments, professional organizations and the media to engage citizens in the deliberative process of making decisions.

Here are some of the reasons why we believe Deliberative Democracy works:

It educates the community, revitalizes civic culture, and enables elected leaders to act decisively.

It fosters a democratic dialogue among citizens and offers a useful middle ground between traditional representative democracy and direct democracy.

Most importantly, Deliberative Democracy forges a new relationship between citizens and their government, changing the nature of public discourse to focus on problem solving and a shared search for solutions.
